Building Conservation Technology
Features of masonry buildings which have demonstrated earthquake resilience in past that have been forgotten over time,
will be described.
This will
include a look at how the 18th century original wings of the Hanuman Dhoka Palace in Kathmandu which survived the 2015 earthquakes with little damage, while the 19th and 20th century wings were partially collapsed.
Recent earthquakes have shown how certain kinds of retrofits have best coupled with the inherent strengths of masonry, and thus have been more successful than those which replaced the original structural systems of masonry buildings with frames.
In the video, I explain that I will post on this page the list of "A FEW FINAL SUGGESTIONS" that were in a slide near the end of my talk, but which because I had run out of time, I could not verbally discuss them. I am listing them here, as explained in this video.
